Nigerians ‘Sold Like Goats’ In Libya

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has said all Nigerians stranded in Libya will be brought home and be “rehabilitated”.

Reacting to recent footage showing Africans for sale at a slave auction in Libya, President Buhari said it was appalling that “some Nigerians where being sold like goats for [a] few dollars in Libya’’.

He also seemed to question whether Libyans had learnt anything useful since former leader Muammar Gaddafi was ousted in 2011.

‘‘All they learned was how to shoot and kill. They didn’t learn to be electricians, plumbers or any other trade,’’ he said.
